HOW A COUPLE OF DEVIANTS BUILT AN INTERNATIONAL BRAND
Written on the 5 September 2017 by Paris Faint
WHEN Alex and Doug Hainstock (pictured) launched their fashion business out of the back of a van in 2012, they dubbed themselves 'deviants' - a couple of boys who were hungry for the counter-culture.
Five years on and the brothers now run the aptly named DVNT, a successful international brand which designs, manufactures and sells clothing to more than 2,000 stores worldwide.
The duo began by designing and selling merchandise for bands at local gigs and ever since they have been out to defy the norms of fashion.
"It's hard to pinpoint exactly when it kicked off - Doug was in charge of designing merch, and we got to a point where we wanted to branch out and try and make some money of our own," says Alex.
"That's when we got our van and went out on tour."
Alex and Doug travelled the length and breadth of the country, peddling a box of printed samples on long trips including from Brisbane to Adelaide and to Canberra.
The original DVNT van
"It was a lot of fun, however it was two guys sleeping in a van in the middle of winter, there was a lot of condensation," admits Alex.
After six months out on the road, DVNT got its first big run of orders which allowed the Hainstocks to seek a more permanent situation.
It didn't take long before DVNT was taking on new staff members and selling into national retailers including City Beach and The Iconic.
The company has since grown year-on-year and it now trades in overseas markets including Canada, the UK, Europe, South-East Asia and recently the USA.
The Hainstocks are also looking forward to launching DVNT in the fashion capital of New York early next year.
"Next year we will head to New York to collaborate with some big names in the fashion Industry, and to see what else we can achieve," says Alex.
"The connections we could make over there are ridiculous, this financial year will be four times what it has been."
The Hainstocks have recently been named finalists in the Brisbane Young Entrepreneur Awards and despite their success, they remain humble as they look back on the ups and downs of their journey.
They believe building a business requires nothing less than complete commitment.
"It's 100 per cent about persistence," says Alex.
"Sure, there have been some depressed nights looking around for other jobs, or when we were paying ourselves $60 a week and I was thinking 'how the hell am I going to take my girlfriend out for dinner'."
"But it's so rewarding now, we have a couple of good staff working for us and we have consistent customers. Basically, we can live like normal members of society again."
Even though they might be paying the bills like 'normal' people, it's unlikely that Alex and Doug Hainstock will ever lose their 'deviant' edge.

Great q! Preservice refers to educators who haven't started working yet – usually in undergrad or grad school, majoring in ed/school libs.
I'm writing about whether school librarian preparation programs require or offer coursework that prepares school librarians to serve students with disabilities successfully. I'm doing this by reviewing program websites to see what their requirements and offerings are and analyzing the course descriptions. I have found that school librarian preparation programs rarely require such coursework or even offer coursework that addresses serving students with disabilities in the school library context as opposed to the classroom. Such coursework is offered primarily in New York, where a federally-funded grant project was implemented to address these students' needs in school libraries.
My article is about how school librarian preparation programs tend not to offer the coursework school librarians need to be prepared to serve students with disabilities, with the exception of programs in New York that are part of a federally-funded project designed to address this issue.
Aaaaand Belcher asks me what I learned by doing this exercise.
Well, I learned (was reminded, I used to be a pro editor for goodness' sake) that revision is brilliant for improving clarity. I learned that feedback from someone outside my field helps me make my writing more accessible. I learned that I'm capable of revision, which is probably the most valuable lesson in all of this.
I like your one sentence summary–seems clear and strong to me!


I've been shooting sports photography for about 5 years and have been looking to expand that to video. This morning I purchased a Sony HDR-AX2000 to get me started, but have very little video experience. Being an action photographer, I don't think following the action will be an issue and I'm assuming white balance and lighting are simular. What I don't know at all is the camera itself. I've search for "How to" and "What nots" online.For the most part I'm finding artistic samples, but very little on how to make it happen.
Any of you folks know of some good video tutorials to get pointed in the right direction? Being a newby here I've not had the chance to really go through and learn what I can from the text help found on this site, but I know there's lots to learn here. What I'm needing though is a jump start and for that, video demos work best.
The best thing you could possibly do is spend a couple of hours with the cam and the manual when it arrives. Play with everything to learn what each setting does. Begin by shooting in full auto and see if you like how it looks, then apply tweaks to your liking.
There are also some very good tutorials at Video Copilot and Lynda.com. You might also want to check out Vortex Media to see if they have an instructional DVD available for your cam -- if not, the one they have for the Z5/FX1000 will come close, as it's basically the same cam as the one you have coming.
Thanks for the reply, I'll go check them out!
The biggest thing I have found is that you really need to pan slowly - otherwise it just looks awful. This is the case with any filming really, but seems to be much more pronounced with HD from what I've found.

I can see sideline panning being an issue, but with the power I've seen in the samples, the zoom from the endzone might be a solid option. Which is usually more stable, zoom or pan?
Zooming is fine - you just need to hold it really steady or preferably use a tripod. Basically I've found the slower your movements the better things will look. A fast zoom in our out though is not as bad as panning quickly.


This paper presents a dynamic box model for the radionuclide behaviour in rivers on medium- and long-term periods (several days to several years). The river is described as a succession of boxes representative of its different reaches. In each reach, the compartments are the water column and three bottom sediment layers. Called interface, the first layer plays a fundamental role for the vertical exchanges of solid radionuclide phases between the water column and the sediment. The second layer results from the consolidation of the previous one. Its interstitial water is mobile and the dissolved radionuclide phases can be exchanged with the water column. It is called active. The last layer results from the consolidation of the active layer. Its interstitial water is slightly mobile and it is assumed that its dissolved radionuclide phases cannot be exchanged. It is called passive. In each compartment, the model computes the temporal evolution of the radionuclide activities in the main abiotic and biotic components. The abiotic components are the water and different matter classes classified according to their deposit kinetics. The biotic components are phytoplankton, zooplankton, and fish distributed in planktonivorous and omnivorous species, in water column and macrobenthos in bottom sediment.

Coors Is Launching A New Orange Cream Pop-Flavored Hard Seltzer
Copyright Coors
Coors
Just when you thought every flavor of hard seltzer imaginable was already on the market (looking at you pumpkin spice and dill pickle), Coors has launched a brand new flavor just in time for summer: Orange Cream Pop!
A nostalgic blend of orange and vanilla, with a touch of sweetness reminiscent of orange cream soda, Coors Seltzer Orange Cream Pop has 90 calories per can and 4.5% alcohol by volume, which makes it stiffer than a can of Coors Light. The brewer says you'll smell orange juice blended with sweet notes of vanilla ice cream before you even take a sip.
A Coors representative tells Simplemost the new seltzer will be rolling out to stores nationwide over the next couple of weeks. You'll find the 12-ounce cans in packs of a dozen for a limited time.
This new variety is just one of five Coors Seltzer flavors, which also include black cherry, mango, lime and grapefruit. Like the latest flavor, the other seltzers have 90 calories and 4.5% ABV. You can find them in stores nationwide, including Walmart and Target.
In addition to providing yet another option in the crowded hard seltzer market, Coors Seltzer was launched with a mission to restore America's rivers. Through a partnership with Change the Course, every 12-pack of Coors Seltzer that's purchased helps restore 500 gallons of fresh water to our rivers.
If nothing beats orange cream flavors for you, however, there are a variety of other orange-vanilla treats you can find in stores, including, of course, Good Humor's Creamsicle Bars, which feature low-fat vanilla ice cream coated in orange-flavored sherbet.
You can also get a Dreamsicle-dipped cone at Dairy Queen, Orange Vanilla Twist Rum from Captain Morgan and, while not edible, Bath & Body Works even has a Sunkissed scent available in lotion, fragrance mist and shower gel that has notes of Sun-Drenched Orange Blossom, Sparkling Sea Salt & Vanilla Breeze.
You can also make your own orange-vanilla treats, like this orange Dreamsicle moonshine and this no-bake orange creamsicle cheesecake, which calls for orange Jell-o mix, sugar, butter, heavy cream, cream cheese and crushed vanilla wafers.
Few flavors say summer like that!

Several New York legislators are working to not only legalize undocumented workers who worked on the rescue, cleanup, and recovery efforts during the aftermath of 9/11, but who also have recently been placed in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facilities for drug and nonviolent offenses committed long ago—as far back as the 1990s—which have prevented them from legalizing their immigration status.
Up to 2,000 workers who helped at Ground Zero in 2001 are estimated to have been undocumented. The bill—the 9/11 Immigrant Worker Freedom Act—would protect undocumented 9/11 clean-up workers from deportation by providing them with legal, permanent resident status. The bill is being introduced by Rep. Joe Crowley and co-sponsored Reps. Espaillat, Nadler, and Velazquez.
While the 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010 granted medical benefits to all the workers and volunteers who helped out in the aftermath of 9/11, individuals with prior drug offenses—regardless of the good work they did to help us during 9/11—became a priority target for deportation when the Trump administration changed the deportation guidelines, even in cases where state governors provided pardons for prior offenses for these individuals.
Now, many of these individuals not only face deportation, but are dealing with numerous health issues as a result of the work they did at Ground Zero in the aftermath of 9/11. Many of them were arrested during "routine" ICE check-ins (what many call "silent raids") in February and held in detention. Many of their prior crimes are for minor offenses, and many of them involved entering into guilty pleas without the assistance of legal representation.
In just the first 100 days since President Trump signed several executive orders cracking down on border security and "sanctuary cities," ICE has arrested more than 41,000 undocumented immigrants; an increase that's close to 40 percent in comparison to the same time last year. ICE agents and officers claim that they are targeting individuals who are a threat to public safety and national security. However, according to one report, while nearly 75 percent of those undocumented criminals arrested between January 22 and April 29 are convicted criminals, only 2,700 of these convictions were for violent crimes.
Entering into guilty pleas without working with an experienced criminal defense attorney can forever change your life. In some circumstances, it can even prevent you from eventually becoming a U.S. citizen.
If you have been accused of a crime, or have a prior conviction on your record and need assistance moving forward, we can help. At the office of Phillip J. Murphy, we provide free consultations during which we evaluate your case and advise you of your rights. We also answer any questions you might have. Contact us today to find out more.

Ambivalent about Judaism, passionately Marxist, charismatic, courageous, Rose Chernin devoted a great deal of her life to securing the rights of disenfranchised citizens: the unemployed of the Depression, farm workers without a union, black home buyers thwarted by redlining, and other foreign-born leftists, like herself, who faced deportation in the 1950s.
Rochele Chernin was born in 1901 in Chasnik, Russia. She was renamed Rose when she and her three younger siblings, renamed Celia, Gertrude, and Milton, and their mother, Perle, landed at Ellis Island in 1913. They were met by Chernin's father, Max, after five years of separation. The family moved to Waterbury, Connecticut, where Chernin's father opened a dry-goods store. Her mother stayed home, suffering from her isolation in an unfamiliar world. Upon finishing grade school in Waterbury, Connecticut, fourteen-year-old Rose Chernin worked on a munitions assembly line. Chernin, a foreign-born, unskilled laborer, boldly requested admission to Crosby, the local preparatory school, over the local trade school. It was at Crosby that Chernin first met Paul Kusnitz, also from a Russian Jewish family. He introduced Chernin to socialist ideas through the newspaper the New York Call.
Chernin's education was jeopardized when her father deserted the family and moved to Canonsville, Pennsylvania, where he opened another store. Resolutely, young Rose Chernin threatened him with jail if he did not send for his wife and their four younger children, who now included baby Lillian. Chernin herself wanted to stay in Waterbury to complete high school. In 1921, after her mother and siblings left for Pennsylvania, Chernin graduated and went to New York City. She entered Hunter College and found work in a perfume factory. All around her, Chernin saw New Yorkers organizing against unfair labor practices and dismal living conditions. Drawn to join them, she became active in a political group called the Russian Club, a commitment that precluded her continuing to study at Hunter. She left college, regretting that decision always.
At age twenty-two, Rose Chernin heard from Paul Kusnitz, who had since received a degree in engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On June 20, 1925, they married. Their happy marriage was based on the couple's common socialist interests and mutual respect. They moved to the Bronx, and Paul began working on the subway. Shortly thereafter, her mother was placed, involuntarily, by her father, into a state psychiatric hospital in Binghamton, New York. Aghast at the conditions there, Rose Chernin successfully arranged for her mother's release, the first of many such battles she would fight on behalf of those weakened by unjust treatment and unable to defend themselves.
In 1929, at the beginning of the Great Depression, Chernin and Kusnitz had their first child, Nina. As a young mother, Chernin organized pickets to protest price gouging in poor neighborhoods, led tenant negotiations, and supported rent strikes. She also helped form unemployed councils, petitioning congressional representatives to provide either more jobs or unemployment insurance. In 1932, Rose Chernin joined the Communist Party, campaigning for election as alderwoman in the Bronx. Then Kusnitz lost his job. The family moved to the Soviet Union, where Kusnitz worked on the Moscow subway, while Chernin worked in a publishing house.
On a visit to Los Angeles in 1934, Chernin saw fourteen communist activists like herself arrested and tried under the Criminal Syndicalist Laws, which outlawed organizing. Hearing the prisoners' call for her help, Chernin decided to stay in California and form a defense committee. Within the year, the prisoners were released. By this time, Rose Chernin had decided that she could not give up her work in America. Kusnitz returned from Moscow, and once again the family lived together in the Bronx.
Their second daughter, Kim Chernin, was born in 1940. Soon Chernin was asked to become the organizational secretary for the Communist Party of the Bronx. But in 1944, tragedy struck when Nina died of Hodgkin's disease. Rose Chernin retreated from political work, and the family moved to California, determined to leave the place associated with their profoundest sorrow.
Two years later, when African-American neighbors in Los Angeles had a cross burned on their property, Chernin began organizing to protect housing rights. Renewed in her work, Chernin spearheaded a campaign to support Henry Carlisle, a British-born movie writer targeted for deportation as a communist. Once again visible in the people's struggle, Chernin became executive secretary of the Committee for the Protection of the Foreign Born, which she founded in 1950. Rose Chernin's known success as an organizer led to her arrest in July 1951, when she was charged with forming a conspiracy to overthrow the government. With her bail set at $100,000, Chernin remained in jail until February 1952 when the trial began. Six months later, she was convicted, sentenced to five years in prison, jailed again, but released on bail five weeks later.
Not long after, Chernin was subpoenaed to appear before the House Un-American Activities Committee, but she refused to give the names of other communists. Another denaturalization proceeding followed, this time with the Immigration and Naturalization Service attempting to deport Chernin by arguing that when she applied for United States citizenship in 1928, she intended to join the Communist Party, thus violating the Smith Act of 1940. However, the judge refused to denaturalize her, reprimanding the government for having presented no evidence of her guilt. By 1957, the Supreme Court heard Yates v. United States, in which Rose Chernin was named. In a landmark decision, Chernin's earlier conviction was overturned, ruling the Smith Act unconstitutional.
In 1967, Paul Kusnitz died in a car accident. In 1983, she saw the publication of In My Mother's House, Kim Chernin's deeply touching memoir that captures Rose Chernin's Yiddish-inflected voice telling her sister's heroic story. Appropriately, her last years were spent in a Los Angeles retirement home that resembled a collective. Among the residents were aged leftist friends, delighted to see their old comrade among them.
Rose Chernin died of Alzheimer's disease on September 8, 1995, in Los Angeles, at almost ninety-four years of age.

Elephant Walk Zazen part II- Helping Daddy
Wednesday night was community night, and we had a good deal of community there to practice.
To preface the game for the evening, the koan Layman Pang's Daughter, was spoken into the room:
Layman Pang was a basket maker. One day, after work, as he was gathering his baskets from the bridge where he sold them, he slipped and rolled down into a ditch, where he lay.
His daughter, seeing this, immediately leap into the ditch and lay beside him
"what are you doing?" inquired Pang
"I am helping Daddy", she replied
"Well then" he finished "Its a good thing no one saw you".
I have always found that koan wonderfully kind and compassionate.
We walked, then had tea. After tea, I asked each person to, one at a time, turn to their left and tell that person a flaw they perceived in their meditation. Busy head, tight muscles, no focus, sleeping feet, whatever. The receiver was asked to give them some heartfelt advice. Find time to do a relaxing mediation, don't worry about it, focus on a ball of light, let things go in the river, use a bench.
Once we had gone around the room, the bell was rung and we sat for 5 minutes. This time, people were asked to sit with the other person's perceived shortcoming.
Once we had done that, we shared how it was to have someone hold your flaw, to hold someone's flaw, did we feel closer to the person after giving advice, or lying in the ditch with them.

Epcot Archives The Epcot that Never Was….
By Lou Mongello
This article first appeared in the January 30, 2007 issue of All Ears®
It's been far too long since my last trip aboard the Wayback Machine, but something's been a bit amiss with this little beauty. Yes, something just isn't working right lately, because I occasionally travel back to a time in Walt Disney World's history where things aren't always what they are supposed to be.
For example, last week I traveled back and found myself in a room in the Asian Resort, overlooking the Seven Seas Lagoon. This view seems quiet familiar, almost as though I've seen it before while at the Grand Floridian.
Anyway, I recently took advantage of this conundrum and explored EPCOT Center in a bit of a different way. I was both surprised and amazed to see what my journey had revealed.
In past articles, I've spoken about some of the World Showcase pavilions that never came to be, including Spain, Israel and equatorial Africa. Well, needless to say, those pavilions were not the only ones left on the Imagineer's drawing boards (or the accountant's desks). My recent trip aboard the Wayback Machine introduced me to some potential new pavilions, attractions… and yes, a few surprises I had never heard of before.
You may have heard about World Showcase's Japan pavilion (a personal favorite of mine, by the way), and what additional attraction was going to be placed there. If you ever visited the "Walt Disney Story" attraction on Main Street, USA (you can read more about it here: http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/articleViewer.php?aid=129 and here http://www.disneyworldtrivia.com/articleViewer.php?aid=458), you may have even seen concept art for a gate-buster attraction to be included in this serene pavilion. Yup. Believe it or not, at one time there were plans for a full-blown roller-coaster right behind the pavilion. (There's plenty of space back there, believe me).
This attraction was to blend seamlessly into the beauty of the pavilion by being housed in a giant mountain – likely about 199 feet or less to avoid the FAA warning light issue that Tower of Terror and Expedition Everest faced. Tentatively titled "Fire Mountain", or more likely, "Mt. Fuji". Sounds like fun, right? I know what you're saying – "Sounds great! World Showcase… even EPCOT Center as a whole had no real thrill rides… and what a great way to get people into and excited about World Showcase?!" Yeah. I thought that, too. I think the Imagineers felt that way a swell, and that's why it appeared to be green-lighted to the point that Disney was advertising it to Guests. But like many great ideas, this one clearly never came to pass, and likely never will. Why, you ask? Well, of course there's always the issue of money. You have to figure a ride of this caliber would have cost upwards of $100-million. And Disney wasn't going to shoulder that burden all by themselves. So it came to having to fund Japanese corporate sponsors to help underwrite the costs of construction and maintenance. And not many companies came running to Disney, check in hand as you could imagine. But one potential suitor DID come to the plate. A company well known to American Guests (and consumers), who would clearly have benefited from having their name and corporate logo identified with what would have been one of the most popular attractions in Disney's EPCOT Center. So, who was this white knight? Fuji. As in Fuji film. As in "Kodak has already been our corporate sponsor for decades so thanks but no thanks because they would freak out and who would we get to keep sponsoring their attractions and printing all those beautiful park maps and oh by the way did you know that we sell Kodak film here?". Now, with that being said, other "issues" came to be mentioned, including possibly spoiling the simple, yet majestic skyline of World Showcase (although it sound like it would have been a great "weenie" to me. A "weenie" being a large visual object that would be easily seen by Guests and attract them deeper into the park, i.e. Cinderella Castle, the Tree of Life, etc.). I could go on and on about this one, as well as the unrealized U.S. version of Japan's "Meet the World" show, but we need to move along…
Oh, and speaking of Kodak, they would actually go on to have another major impact on a part of Epcot's legacy, and one of Disney's most beloved characters. Intrigued? Good. So was I when I heard this, too! Well, here's how the story goes: Once upon a time, an Imagineer named Tony Baxter came up with the idea for a new character who would serve as the official mascot for EPCOT Center's new Imagination pavilion, to open in 1983. After watching an episode of Magnum, P.I. (I'm not making this up, folks. Go with me here), he came up with the idea of actually quantifying what a "figment of the imagination" would look like. Baxter recalled during an interview that he recalls Magnum saying to Higgins that whatever had torn up his garden was "just a Figment of your imagination." Higgins replied smartly that "Figments don't eat grass". The light bulb went off atop his head, and he strolled into Imagineering the next day with the new "star of our show."
Tony was (and still is), a huge fan of dragons. (Go to Disneyland Paris. Look at the incredible Sleeping Dragon Animatronic in the Castle. Thank Tony for that concept). Anyway, think of a dragon. You think of a green dragon, right? (Again, work with me here). Think Pete's Dragon. Green again! So, this little dragon that would serve to represent imagination would of course have to be green. Two tiny wings, eyes big and yellow, horns of a steer, what a lovable fellow! From head to tail, he's royal purple pigment… What? Yeah, Lou – he's not green, he's purple! Oh yeah… that's where Kodak got "involved" yet again. You see, Tony's lovable green and white dragon, which would have made a wonderful little plush toy, WAS cute and cuddly. He was also in the colors of Kodak's competitor, our friends from the Land of the Rising Sun – FUJI! And there was no WAY that Kodak was going to permit their mascot to look like a little Fuji dragon. So, there went the green, and in came the purple pigment, yellow sweater, and, well.. you get the rest.
So, let's go back to World Showcase, OK? Because there's some REALLY interesting things I think you'd find fascinating. You see, there was yet ANOTHER pavilion that was closer to coming to fruition than you think – but not many people outside of WED (original name of Walt Disney Imagineering) and MAPO (construction/development branch of Imagineering) knew much about it. On October 3, 1983, a formal agreement was reached for a "Scandinavian Showcase" in World Showcase with Scanshow A/S (Scandinavian Showcase, U.S.A.), a division of Norway's largest construction company, which had been recently established. Claude Coats (the Disney Legend, artist and Imagineer who helped develop a couple of little attractions like the Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean) and Tim Bunner from the Show Design Department were put on the project and had been working on plans and models. Plans included working for about 3-5 months on show concepts, which were to combine the cultures of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Now while you're saying that it's no big deal, we have a Norway pavilion today, it is notable that THIS pavilion was to be much larger, and located between France and the United Kingdom. Look at your current park map – Norway is on the other side of the Lagoon. Final plans were to be completed by 1984, with eth pavilion opening in 1987. One can only speculate that it was once again the perils of finance and concepts that would have appeased all nations that led to this pavilion's demise.
But wait! There's MORE! (in Lou's best used car salesman voice)
For many years (OK, maybe since opening day of EPCOT Center), a complaint from Guests with children has been that there was nothing for their kids to do. Remember, EPCOT Center was a very different place back then. There were NO characters in the park. At all. There was no Turtle Talk, no Kidcot Fun Stops, no Figment (purple or otherwise), and no… ummm… hmmm… OK, so there's still not a TON for kids to do. Point made. Anyway, one would think that it was the intention in the original concept for EPCOT that it would be a place for learning, discovery, yada yada yada, and not really for the younger kids. You wouldn't be 100% correct. I know I wasn't. What I learned on my recent Wayback Machine journey was that there were plans from the very beginning to make EPCOT Center, and believe it or not World Showcase, more appealing to children. How, you say? Hang on to your hats and glasses, 'cause I know I was amazed when I heard this next one:
Let me use two examples of some concepts that almost came to be. The first was going to be a Pinocchio Village in Italy, complete with shows, attractions, and who knows, maybe even a restaurant. What would you think about going on a journey through the little boy's story, ala "Pinocchio's Daring Journey" in Disneyland, but better? Oh yeah… you're right – that attraction opened in 1983, one year after EPCOT Center opened. Well, this would have been much more than just an attraction with Stromboli and Tobacco Road… in fact, we would have been treated to a whole Tuscany-themed area of Italy. There was (is) plenty of room as you can see from the recent aerial photo below, and I personally believe this would have been an extraordinary addition to an already beautiful pavilion.
How about a full-blown Alice in Wonderland attraction in the United Kingdom? Follow the White Rabbit her down the rabbit hole into a fanciful world full of colorful characters, and… well… yeah, I would have loved to see these, too. This one was supposed to be built into the pavilion as well. The concept was all but done, the show elements in development, etc. This, too, was closer than you think.
We'll have to talk more about these lands and attractions and maybe about the whole Epcot/Kids thing some other time. There's plenty to see and talk about, so until we board my Wayback Machine and voyage back to Walt Disney World's days gone by, I hope you all continue to enjoy all of the true MAGIC that Walt Disney World has to offer.
Oh wait! Do I have time to talk about the Venezuela or United Arab Emirates pavilions? Guess not… See ya!

Q: Collection Test with StopWatch I'm trying to measure the elapsed time of a collection with 115 items.
My problem is that I can measure the elapsed time only when I am debuging and exactly set a breakpoint by using  StopWatch.stop();
When i run my test normal the value of StopWatch.stopis 0, although it is a long-value. First I thought that my collection is to small, but this elapsed time should be passed as long-value.
//   times-collection will be initialised somewhere else
//---------------------------------------------------------------
for (int i=0; i<10; i++){
    final StopWatch stopwatchA = new StopWatch();
    final StopWatch stopwatchB = new StopWatch();
    Iterator<String> iterator = times.iterator();

    stopwatchA.start();
    while(iterator.hasNext()){
        if (iterator.next().equals("XXX")) {
            break;
        }
    }
    stopwatchA.stop();
    stopwatchB.start();
    for (String tzd : times) {

        if (tzd.equals("XXX")) {
            break;
        }
    }
    stopwatchB.stop();

    if(stopwatchA.getTime() < stopwatchB.getTime()){
        System.out.println("ITERATOR IS FASTER: iterator: " + estimatedTimeIterator + " FOR-TIME: " + estimatedTimeFor);
    }else if(stopwatchA.getTime() > stopwatchB.getTime()){
        System.out.println("FOR IS FASTER: iterator: " + estimatedTimeIterator + " FOR-TIME: " + estimatedTimeFor);
    }
}

A: Stopwatch from Standard Libraries uses internally System.currentTimeMillis()
For a collection with 115 items it is perfectly possible to have less than 1ms between stopwatchA.start() and stopwatchA.stop()
Use System.nanoTime() instead.

A Partial List of Approaches to Advanced Biofuels
Race to the Pump ACS
Therecent ACS story, Race to the Pump, was linked here earlier in passing, but it deserves a longer look. The story features many of the most prominent scientists and investors in the advanced biofuels race, providing some interesting perspectives.
"Because the energy industry is so large, there is room for everybody to play, as long as you can meet the economics," says Jay D. Keasling, a synthetic biologist at the University of California, Berkeley. "That is the great thing about this problem. Chemical technologies can be engineered to happen more quickly. It does take a long time to engineer the biology. But the beauty of biology is that it can work under dirtier conditions, and you can get the specific molecule you want under a range of conditions."
..."Chemical approaches offer plenty of advantages," says Mark Mascal, a chemistry professor at UC Davis whose group is working on several biofuel projects. "Generally, if you have an inexpensive catalyst and a fast method, a chemical approach can be more cost-effective and doesn't take a few days or a week the way most fermentation processes do," he notes. "A consistent feedstock isn't needed as is the case with microbes in sugar fermentation—you can use anything as long as it has sugar or cellulose in it."
...Another primary chemical pathway to biofuels is pyrolysis. On this front, George W. Huber and his group at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, have developed a continuous catalytic pyrolysis method that directly converts raw biomass such as wood chips into gasoline-range compounds. Huber is a former graduate student of Dumesic's at Wisconsin and part of the team that developed some of Virent's technology.
...A handful of companies are already zeroing in on commercial biofuels produced by microbes. For example, Gevo, based in Englewood, Colo., uses an engineered microbe to produce 2-methylpropanol, known in the industry as isobutanol, which can be used as a gasoline blend stock or dehydrated to isobutylene and then converted into octane, aromatics, and other gasoline ingredients. The technology is based on research by James C. Liao and coworkers at the University of California, Los Angeles.
...As biofuel technologies proliferate, start-ups and investors must decide which ones are technically and economically feasible on a commercial scale. Decision making typically has focused on how to convert the biomass, but it should be refocused on which raw material should be used, argues Bruce E. Dale, a chemical engineer at Michigan State University and a lead scientist at DOE's Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center, one of JBEI's two sister centers.
...Another factor in decision making is the logistics of biomass availability, transport, and storage. To be commercially viable, a gasification plant would require up to about 15,000 tons of biomass per day, Dale says, whereas a fermentation facility would need about 5,000 tons per day and a pyrolysis facility would need about 2,000 tons per day. To win, companies must work out a long-term, reliable feedstock supply, as well as a partner who will take their fuel, Dale says.
...Khosla thinks that biofuels are one of the most interesting areas in the energy marketplace. That's because, unlike electric cars, biofuels will be affordable most everywhere. Still, perhaps only half a dozen or so biofuel approaches will win, he said.
For example, biodiesel from palm oil might be a good idea, Khosla noted. But it may well disappoint investors because it's just an incremental improvement and unlikely to come out on top. "Other people are trying to make magic work where it hasn't worked before, such as using algae to make fuel," he added. "I've looked at two dozen business plans, and I haven't found one where the economics will work."
Khosla instead has his bets on Gevo, LS9, and Amyris. That's because all three companies have innovative biofuel technologies that they can also use to make high-margin chemical products, thereby reducing risk.
...UMass's Huber thinks pyrolysis will be a big winner, with different technologies for making gasoline, diesel fuel, and jet fuel. Acid hydrolysis or enzymatic methods will be too expensive on a large scale, Huber believes. "The enzymes cost too much, and fermentation is very slow. If you use acids, then you have to pay to dispose of the acid or you have to try to recycle the acid."
..."When the smoke clears, I think there will be a few technologies left standing," Mascal agrees. "They will be the ones that can be done cheaply and in which feedstock supplies and their transportation aren't an issue, capital and operating expenses aren't prohibitive, and you get a product with a ready or emerging market. The more esoteric methods will be history in the literature.
"But scientists and engineers, or the federal government for that matter, don't need to pick winners or losers," Mascal continues. "The market does that itself, and science does that itself. We recognize when one method is much better than another; that's a type of natural selection."
"We spent decades getting petroleum-based fuels up to the volumes that we are producing now," Keasling notes. "With new biofuel technologies, we can't expect that to happen overnight. But in the next couple of years, we are going to see some of these advanced fuels on the market. From there it will continue to grow. But we've got to give it time." _ACS
There is much more at the article above. As a quick executive summary, this ACS article is probably the best starting point for understanding where advanced biofuels currently stand, generally.
Professor James Clark of the University of York, is taking an interesting approach to extracting high value products from biomass. He is using super-critical CO2 to extract high value waxy products from the biomass, then proceeding to use microwave pyrolysis to produce pyrolysis gas, liquids, and solids.
We are approaching prime maple syrup time in North America, and it is good to remember all the different ways that nature has evolved to produce high energy chemicals -- including sugars. With the help of humans, nature is just getting started in the quest to ever higher energy crops.

"We need to go far, quickly."
An interesting talk by Tim Berners-Lee on his vision of the future of the Web: Linked Data.
All I know about whether guns should be allowed in National Parks is this: several years ago I was backpacking on the Appalachian Trail, somewhere in Tennessee or maybe southwestern Virginia. One day we came across two hunters carrying rifles, hunting something or other. We exchanged short, polite greetings and we each went on our way. But I remember that the next half-mile was quite stressful, and I have rarely felt so vulnerable -- and this is a place where the locals hang fish hooks on the trail at eye level to warn-off hikers.
No one has a legitimate need to carry a gun in a National Park -- if you're that afraid of its animals, don't go there -- where hunting isn't allowed. It's a shame America will now allow this. People will die because of it, and, if not, will take on far more stress than need be in a civilized society.
Werner Herzog is perhaps an acquired taste, and the first movie of his I ever watched (I'm a little ashamed to say) was the 2005 film Grizzly Man. (Although I would still like to hear the audio of Timothy Treadwell's last minutes as he was eaten by a bear.) It was tastefully done and even inspiring (but realistic).
Since then I have been trying to catch up on Herzog. The Wild Blue Yonder is not Herzog at his best (or Brad Dourif), and you can honestly wonder what they hell they both had in mind.
But 1982's Fitzcarraldo is pure gold. You have to watch it. You especially have to watch it when you realize that Herzog used no special effects at all -- he actually filmed the actual dragging of the actual 340-ton boat over the actual mountain. It's insane, but it made the entire film.
That, plus the boat's later passage through the rapids. Rather than edit it as some loud, quick-cutting, fast-action horror sequence as this huge boat crashes through the rapids, Herzog simply pans back and shows the boat almost dancing through the rapids. It makes all the difference.
This is a teleconference on wheels -- the robot can follow you around, etc., but the voice is that of the person/people on the other end of your teleconference.
Here's a video of the concept. They cost about $30K apiece. I could see this catching on, if the price were a lot lower, and people have about 15 years to grow comfortable with the idea.
The total electricity consumption in Oregon in 2005 was 46,457 million kW-hr/yr, or 5300 MW.
So Google will be using about 1-2% of all Oregon electricity (a state of 3.6M people).
The Guardian has another interesting article about Internet power consumption -- it's growing at about 10% a year. US data centers used about 61 B kW-hr in 2006, 1.5% of all US electricity consumption (or enough to power the entire United Kingdom for 2 months), and perhaps will use 80 B kW-hr this year (9100 MW).
Was Harry Truman a war criminal for dropping an atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
Jon Stewart said yes when asked the other night.
Of course (of course), anyone who ever dropped an atomic bomb on an American city would be labeled a war criminal, no question about it. What's the difference?
The difference is that we think we can parse out morality. We thought we had good reasons for killing tens of thousands of completely innocent Japanese women, men, children, and babies. Just as they thought they had good reason to bomb Pearl Harbor. I mean, the Japanese didn't just wake up one morning and decide to commit as much evil as possible. The Japanese needed oil, and the US was dogged in trying to deny them that.
Funny how, when we need oil, it's justifiable to attack Iraq, but when the Japanese needed oil, they're not justified in looking out for their interests.
Actually, the whole damned thing makes me sick -- it's OK to murder thousands of little babies in this case, but not in that case, and we were justified because of what they did to us, but of course they were justified because of what we did to them.
It's OK for the US to waterboard to protect our people, but it wasn't OK for the Japanese to do the same to protect their people. Because they're just Japanese but we're Americans.
Like it all isn't at the bottom just stupid, naked, nationalistic tribalism.
I do not believe in a God, but I almost wish there was one, just so maybe some day I could get to see Truman and Yamamoto and Patton and Eisenhower and Hirohito and every one of the murderers standing at the pearly gates still arguing with whomever is still listening about how right there were and how wrong everyone else was, all talking over one another, still pointing fingers at everyone else, still trying to explain why they were a true Christian or whatever other stupid religion they thought they were pretending to practice, but it was just all the other guys who still forever without a clue and why can't you let me in after all these years and how responsble can you expect me to be just because I dropped a bomb that killed thousands of children and babies?
Here's an interesting set of photographs showing the sprawl in the Las Vegas area since 1984.
Sightline has an animated version here.


Why the 2005 Ford Freestyle?
flexibility of seats for 7 and ability to fold all seats.
Got best mileage of all vehicles in category when shopping.
Reasonable price, with good ford financing offer.
Why Not the 2005 Ford Freestyle?
Cloth seats stain easily and are hard to clean.
Dealer service has been very bad. Will not return to dealer now that warranty has expired.

Three Questions With Denzel Curry
By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: Features October 21, 2014
EXCLUSIVE: DENZEL CURRY PLAYS "F*CK, MARRY, COLLAB" FEATURING NICKI, IGGY, & DIAMOND
South Florida native Denzel Curry has been crisscrossing the nation on his "Bow Down" tour with North Carolina's Deniro Farrar. After stops in Miami, Houston, Los Angeles, Seattle, and other cities, the duo will be rolling into New York City this week as part of the CMJ Music Marathon.
Before the two rising southern rappers hit the Big Apple, AllHipHop.com caught up with Curry for our "Three Questions" feature. The creator of 2013's Nostalgic 64 reflects on a memorable moment from his childhood and shares thoughts on his female counterparts Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, and Diamond.
[ALSO READ: EXCLUSIVE: Miami's Denzel Curry Responds To Trick Daddy's Comments + Reveals Upcoming Double EP]
What is your favorite childhood memory?
Getting an Xbox. The very first Xbox I got around Christmas. Everybody had Playstation 2s. We didn't. We were stuck with the old game systems like PS1 and N64. But the fact that we got a new system that year was mind-blowing, because everyone was getting GameCubes.
If you had to be trapped in any TV show for a month, which one would you choose?
I would be trapped in Adventure Time, because the story behind that is so crazy. Everything starts off so random, but when you continue watching the episode you see how everything's connected. I'd definitely be on there.
F**k, Marry, Collab: Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Diamond?
I would f**k Nicki. Probably collab with Diamond from Crime Mob, and marry Iggy Azalea. I think Diamond is raw. Don't get me wrong, Iggy and Nicki do their thing, but I haven't seen Diamond in a minute. If she were to come out with some new s**t, and it's as hard as "Knuck If You Buck" – hell yeah, I'd collab with Diamond.

Q: What is a Channel Factory in .NET? What is a Channel Factory and why do you use it?

A: ChannelFactory class is used to construct a channel between the client and the service without the need of a proxy. In some cases, you may have a service that is tightly bound to the client application. In such a case, you can reference the Interface DLL directly and use ChannelFactory to call your methods using that.
I suggest you also go thru the difference between Proxy and Channel factory. this will help you in understanding of exact use of Channel Factory.

A: If you used Visual Studio's Add Service Reference, or the svcutil.exe tool, you probably won't ever see a ChannelFactory.
Basically, creating the client-side proxy for a WCF service is a two-step process:

*

*create the appropriate ChannelFactory<T> for your specific service contract

*given that channel factory, create the actual communication channel between the client and the service

If you do have control over both ends of the wire, and you can put your service and data contracts into a separate assembly, you can break apart this two step process and handle it manually:

*

*create the ChannelFactory<IMyService> once, this is a fairly complex and time-consuming operation, so if ever possible, try to do this only when really necessary, and then cache the channel factory for later reuse

*create the actual channel using the channel factory whenever you need to communicate with the server
It's a very specific construct for WCF services, so I don't think you'll ever use it outside the WCF scope.

*The State of West Virginia was not admitted into the Union until June 20, 1863. For that reason, and because the Confederates did not recognize the partition of Virginia thus made, places in the new State are frequently referred to, in the text of these Records, as being cipher in Virginia or in Western Virginia. The transfer of the counties of berkeley and Jefferson from Virginia to West Virginia was not recognized by Congress until March 10, 1866.

Businesses Can Support Research
Lynda Solien-Wolfe
To complement the article, "Research Resources Advance our Profession," by Lynda Solien-Wolfe, as part of MASSAGE Magazine's 2013 Massage Profession Update, in the January 2013 issue. Article summary: Money fuels research—both of which are needed to deliver further evidence on the efficacy of the modalities we use and the most common conditions we treat. But what we can do now is educate ourselves on the studies available, educate our clients, donate to massage therapy research and, most of all, know the facts. By staying abreast of the current research, we can propel our profession forward.
In addition to industry associations and organizations, many of our business partners can be research resources.
For example, Performance Health has established a scientific advisory committee, TRAC. Now in its 14th year, this international and discipline-diverse committee, including massage therapy, supports collaborative research projects that help clinicians make evidence-informed decisions when using Performance Health's Biofreeze® and Thera-Band® products.
These studies and many more are available via Performance Health's education and research academy website (www.performancehealthacademy.com), which provides the most comprehensive research database on their products.
Lynda Solien-Wolfe, L.M.T., N.C.T.M.B., F.S., is director of clinical education and research–massage therapy and spa for Performance Health (www.performancehealth.com).

We compared the new millennial pink KitKat to 8 crazy flavours from Japan — and the winner was clear
Tom Murray, Business Insider US
The sparkly new KitKat Ruby in all its pink glory.
Thomas Murray / Business Insider
Nestlé recently released a new flavour of KitKat in the UK.
KitKat Ruby is made from ruby cacao beans – the first new type of chocolate to be developed since white chocolate 80 years ago.
We compared the new bar to a selection of bizarre flavours from Japan, from soy sauce to sweet potato.
The winner was clear.
You may have heard there's a new kid on the confectionary block – Nestlé recently launched KitKat Ruby in the UK, the latest take on KitKat's classic, four-finger bar with a natural pink hue from ruby cacao beans.
It's the first new type of chocolate to be developed since white chocolate 80 years ago.
"Ruby chocolate is a big innovation in confectionery and we are very proud that KitKat is the first major brand in the UK to feature this exciting new chocolate," said Alex Gonnella, marketing director for Nestlé's UK confectionery business.
The millennial pink chocolate bar is not unique to the UK, though. Before landing on British shores, KitKat Ruby had overwhelming success in Japan and Korea, where the number of flavours far surpasses our measly selection.
Since 2000, KitKat has launched over 300 different flavours in Japan – including bizarre options like soy sauce and sweet potato.
We compared the UK's new Ruby KitKat with a selection of 8 weird flavours from Japan – and there was a clear winner.
Scroll down to see which flavours you'd really like to take a break with.
Behold the Japanese KitKats in all their glory.
Setting out on my mission as writer at Business Insider, I bought a selection of eight flavours from Japan Centre in Soho, London – a solid basis from which to judge the new Ruby edition. The flavours included: Matcha Green Tea, Kyoto Matcha Green Tea, Azuki Sandwich, Purple Sweet Potato, Shinshu Apple, Strawberry, Amaou Strawberry and, of course, Shizuoka Wasabi.
KitKat's extreme popularity in the Land of the Rising Sun may be down to a coincidental resemblance to the phrase "Kitto Katsu," which translates into "surely win." As such, the bars are often given as good luck gifts in Japan, particularly for students sitting university entrance exams, according to The Telegraph.
The first flavour I tried was Shizuoka Wasabi.
Japanese KitKats Shizuoka Wasabi
You may associate wasabi more with sushi than a chocolately treat, but the Wasabi KitKat was an unexpected triumph.
At first, it just tastes like chocolate, but as soon as you swallow the mustardy heat hits you in the back of the throat. Fortunately, the spicy kick is more of a tap, and the subtlety of the heat is actually quite pleasant.
Score: 7/10.
Next up was Strawberry.
Japanese KitKats Strawberry
Thomas Murray / BusinessInsider
The Strawberry KitKat smelled hugely artificial, like a McDonald's strawberry milkshake. The taste pretty much exactly aligned with the smell – it was sickly sweet with an artificial, plasticky aftertaste. Not good.
Then came the special edition Amaou Strawberry.
The Amaou Strawberry had a much more subtle perfume. The wafer on mine was incredibly stale, but the bars had travelled all the way from Japan. Nevertheless, the flavour is much more natural than the regular strawberry. If you're going to go for a strawberry KitKat from Japan, make sure its Amaou.
Purple Sweet Potato came after.
This sounded all sorts of wrong, but I was prepared to keep an open mind.
I was right – it was outright bizarre.
It wasn't as sweet as the other bars and had a faintly disgusting root vegetable taste. I would recommend leaving sweet potatoes to savoury items.
Next I tried the trendy Matcha Green Tea…
Japanese KitKats Matcha Green Tea
I'd heard a lot about the Green Tea KitKats before tasting, as they're a typical gift for tourists to bring back home – a taste of Japan in a neatly packaged green wrapper.
The reality, though, was a bitter disappointment. The flavour was very artificial and completely overwhelmed by the sweetness of the chocolate.
…Followed by the special edition Kyoto Matcha.
Who needs one edition of the Matcha Green Tea KitKat when you can have two? As with the Amaou Strawberry, this special regional edition had a more refined flavour than the original. The bitterness of the earthy tea flavours was complemented by the sweet, white chocolate surrounding.
This is king of the Japanese KitKats.
Shinshu Apple was the next contender.
The apple scent was immediately overpowering as soon as I opened the wrapper. Shinshu is reportedly famous for the apples grown in the region – however, if they taste anything like the KitKat edition, then tourists are in for a nasty surprise. The flavour was totally artificial and more reminiscent of apple candy than actual fruit.
This might be the worst one yet.
Next Up? The Azuki Sandwich.
Azuki, or red bean, is a popular flavour in East Asian cuisine and is often boiled with sugar to make red bean paste.
Red bean is usually cooked for auspicious occasions and, therefore, Nestlé is not the first company to piggy-back on the ingredient's heritage – in 2009, Pepsi released an azuki-flavoured edition of its soda. According to Japan Times, the colour red was once thought to have magical powers in Japan.
To my Western palate, the red bean flavour was subtle but jarring, and had a slightly raw vegetable tang to it.
Last but not least was the Ruby — and the winner was clear.
Finally, it was time to try Britain's new KitKat Ruby.
Unlike Japan's pink strawberry editions, which are made with white chocolate and strawberry flavourings, the Ruby uses ruby cacao that produces a natural pink hue in the chocolate.
The flavour is completely different to any of the Japanese KitKats I've tried. It's obviously chocolate, but it has a really sharp berry tang – unlike any kind of chocolate I've had before. It's powerful, but it works, and there's a depth of flavour that surpasses the rest of the KitKats in this test.
The winner was clear – I would urge anyone that hasn't tried ruby chocolate to get their hands on one of the new KitKats, a totally new experience that also happens to be delicious.
If you're thinking about visiting Japan any time soon, then opt for the special, regional editions if you can – they're a lot more natural in flavour than the regular bars, and the packaging makes a great gift.

On Friday, 15th February, South African prosecutors formally charged "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius, a double amputee and one of the world's most admired South African Olympians with shooting and killing his girlfriend, fashion model Reeva Steenkamp, in the early hours of Valentine's Day.
This gruesome incident has shocked the world, and it has cast a shadow over the sportsman fondly known as the "Blade Runner" for his achievements using prosthetic limbs. On Thursday, Nike removed an advertisement from its website featuring Pistorius taking off for a run with the slogan "I am the bullet in the chamber." The company issued a statement expressing sympathy and condolences to the families concerned and added that it would not comment further, noting that the situation is a police matter.
The Afrikaans newspaper Die Beeldt reported that Pistorius shot Reeva four times through a bathroom door in the hand, the pelvis, the chest and the head.
At Pretoria Magistrates Court, prosecutors told chief magistrate Desmond Nair that they would argue that Oscar Pistorius committed "premeditated murder" on February 14 at his upscale home at the Silver Woods secure housing estate in Pretoria.
Magistrate Nair postponed the application by the defense for bail until Tuesday and placed Pistorius in police custody.
The police said when the shooting took place early Thursday in Pistorius' home only the two of them were there. According to local media, the neighbors hearing a loud argument called the Police to Pistorius' home just past midnight. Two hours later, around 3:00 a.m., the neighbors called the Police again after the shooting.

Geographical distribution of French speakers
This article details the geographical distribution of speakers of the French language, regardless of the legislative status within the countries where it is spoken. French-based creoles are considered separate languages for the purpose of this article.
French became an international language in the Middle Ages, when the power of the Kingdom of France made it the second international language, alongside Latin. This status continued to grow into the 18th century, by which time French was the language of European courts and diplomacy. The importance of French began to wane in the early 20th century, when the rise of the English-speaking United States to superpower status eroded its place as the language of trade, science and diplomacy.
According to a 2014 estimate by the Organisation internationale de la Francophonie, 274 million people worldwide can speak French, of which 212 million use the language daily, while the remaining 62 million have learnt it as a foreign language. Despite a decline in the number of learners of French in Europe, the overall number of speakers is rising, largely because of its presence in high-fertility African countries: of the 212 million who use French daily, 54.7% are living in Africa.

Harvard Pilgrim Health Care says a type of business insurance being offered by Aetna is luring companies with younger, healthier workers away from the Affordable Care Act marketplace, leaving others to provide small-group coverage to companies with older and less healthy employees. In a public meeting before the Maine Bureau of Insurance on Thursday, Harvard Pilgrim and Community Health Options argued that the rules governing "stop loss" plans such as the one Aetna is offering are outdated and threaten to implode the ACA-compliant small-group market in Maine, which currently covers about 100,000 peopled employed by small businesses. Under the current rules, insurers can offer a replacement for small-group insurance that allows them to cherry-pick the businesses they want to cover, thus violating the spirit of the ACA. The bureau will attempt to render a decision that strikes a balance between not discouraging small businesses in Maine from offering employee health insurance, and not undermining the ACA small-group market.
